    Picked this up today. It's clearly all synthetic although well presented. Never heard of James walker jewellers. Are they prominent or is it just some cheesy chintz.

    Nice costume brooch. It's possible the box isn't original to the brooch.

    Box has nothing to do with the brooch.

    It’s sixties into seventies costume. Faux Opal, and you’ll probably never find out who made it.

    Thanks. That's about as similar as you can get I think. Even the shape of the opaque part of the central stone reverse is the same. I'd say that's the same manufacturer.
